Flutter By Wednesday #99

Only one more week until 100 weeks of Flutter By Wednesdays! How amazing is that???

Today we are bringing you an inspiration challenge. Please use this picture as inspiration for your creation and be sure to include a butterfly, fairy, or angel!

I have to admit that I was a little intimidated when Danni sent this picture...I don't usually do well with these types of challenges, but then I remembered I have Fairy Chloe from The Greeting Farm and I thought she'd be perfect, especially using this week's Mojo Monday layout.

Squigglefly Challenge #34

It's Monday and time for another Squigglefly challenge!

Maria's challenge for us today is to make a mostly white card/project with lots of sparkle. EEK!! I had such a hard time with this...my card is okay, but not as good as I had hoped, I tried though!

The image is Cheryl Alger's Cappucino Snowman, she draws the neatest snowmen!

If you click the picture, hopefully you can see the sparkle/shimmer better. I used a clear spica pen on the snowman's hat and Angel Wings shimmerz on his jacket, along with stickles on his scarf and the cappucino. The blue sparkle is the Sky Blue spica pen.

If you'd like to play along, please create a mostly white card/project with sparkle using a Squigglefly image. Please link it to the challenge blog HERE, and be sure to visit the DT's blogs to see what they came up with. The links are on my left sidebar and on the Squigglefly blog.

There is now also a prize up for grabs every week, just be sure to use a Squigglefly image on your entry!

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy day!

My card for FBW #87

Here is my card for FBW...finally!

I was able to start it last night and finish it this morning. The days and nights here are just flying by, but I have to say my house is finally looking better so I am much happier!

Initially when I was going to make my winter card, I thought of using Nora from C.C. Designs, but then I saw Danni's card and changed my mind lol...I had the same thoughts winter and blue. I challenged myself to go out my box for this card.

I found this fun paper by DCWV in my stash of stuff that's pulled out for Christmas cards...and an idea was born. Let's make Sparkle Fairy from Paper Makeup Stamps into a winter fairy I had such fun coloring her in pink, I love how she came out. Instead of Stickles, I decided to dust off my Shimmerz and paint her wings, hairbow, wand and the cuttlebug piece with it. Since I can't find my swiss dots or snowflake folder, I thought the D'Vine swirl could represent snow swirling lol

I used Tracy's ESS #64 layout for this week, it worked out perfect for what I had in mind!


There's still time to play along, just link your winter card using a butterfly, fairy or angel to Danni's blog and be sure to come back and check out Wednesday's fun challenge!

By the way, have you checked out our new home for challenges starting in January? No, well then get over there - Flutter By Wednesdays!

Gotta get back to my chore list! Thanks for stopping by!

Flutter By Wednesday #52

Its Flutter By Wednesday #52!! Danni has been doing these challenges for a whole year now, be sure to go visit her blog and leave her some love!

Starting this week, you can use butterflies and FAIRIES!! Also, its an "open week", no special challenge. So in honor of being able to use fairies, I created a fairy card to share with you all today.

But first, let me tell you a few things. Our featured team member this week is Cassie and the guest designer is Lynn from The Queen's Scene. You can click on their names to visit their blogs or check out their cards on Danni's blog. You can also visit my fellow flutter by team members by checking out their links on my left sidebar.

Here is my card:
I am so very proud of this card! The sketch is from Little Paper Shop. I used Kirsten from Paper Makeup Stamps and am very impressed with how nice and clean they stamp. I incorporated a lot of details into the image. I paper pieced her shirt and leg warmers, used fun flock on the dandelion and Angel Wings Shimmerz on her wings, although the sparkle isn't picked up in the picture.

I used Copics to color her in and am very pleased with how she turned out. I incorporated some of what I learned a few weeks ago in a Copic 101 class. I think my practicing is paying off :o)


The Recipe:
Stamps: Kirsten ~ Paper Makeup Stamps
Paper: DCWV, GP, Paper Company
Ink: Tuxedo Black ~ Memento, Copics (see above)
Accessories: Fun Flock ~ Stampendous, Angel Wings Shimmerz, prima flower, brad (American Crafts)
